Received directly from SummerStock Austin:

Sweeney Todd

SummerStock Austin is pleased to present this new production of Stephen Sondheim’s masterpiece, Sweeney Todd, to the Rollins Stage this summer. Sweeney Todd tells the tale of Benjamin Barker, a barber who is driven to seek vengeance upon Judge Turpin and his henchman Beadle Bamford for the death of his wife and evil deeds that may befall his daughter, Johanna. How will he do it?

Come and take a trip with us to the dark streets of London and Mrs. Lovett’s Meat Pie Shop to find out. Includes the songs “Not While I’m Around,” “Pretty Women,” and “A Little Priest.”

Little Shop of Horrors

SummerStock Austin celebrates its fifth season by presenting one of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows of all time, Little Shop of Horrors. This affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has become a house-hold name, thanks to a highly successful film version and a score by the songwriting team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, who redefined the animated musical film with Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Beauty And The Beast and Aladdin. Charming, tuneful and hilarious, Little Shop Of Horrors never fails to entertain.
